Sensory Table:
A sensory table is such a great investment if you have toddlers in your care. Young children thrive on sensory activities and with a sensory table you can change the items as often as you want to give your child new textures to touch and play with each day. If you have a sand or water table you can easily turn it into a sensory table. If you don't have a sand or water table our toddler games and activities printable book will explain how to make your own you can make your own inside sand box for your child. We don't put sand in the sand table (sensory box) we use other items and the instructions will be included for this fun winter activity in our toddler games activities and activity book.

Flower Garden
You will need an egg carton and some plastic flowers.
Next, you will need to turn the egg carton upside down and make a hole in the center of each egg cup. We use the egg cardboard type of egg carton, and we use either a sharp pair of scissors or a utility knife to make the holes (make sure you don't use these sharp items when children are present). Show your toddler how to stick the flowers into the holes to make a beautiful garden. This is a great learning game for toddlers, it teaches them one-to-one correspondence plus it's a great fine motor activity, along with hand and eye co-ordination.

Fun With Clothespins
You will need a milk carton.
Cut the milk carton in half. To make it look nicer you can cover it with with contact paper or cardstock paper, but not necessary.Next, you will need to provide your toddler with a few old fashioned clothespins. Make sure they dont have a spring in them. Show your toddler how to slip the clothespins around the outside edge of the carton. This activity may be too hard for young toddlers, if it's too hard for your child to slip the clothespins onto the edge of the milk carton you can make them another activity using the clothespins and a milk carton (cardboard type). Wash out the milk carton, fill with water and a bit of vinegar to kill germs and let it sit for a little bit,
dump out the vinegar water and let air dry. After it dries cut a small hole into the top of the milk carton and show your toddler how to drop the wooden clothespins (old fashioned ones that don't have a spring)
into the hole in the milk carton, make a hole into the back of the milk carton, just big enough for him/her to stick their hand in to take out the clothespins.
